As someone unfamiliar with conveyancing in South Cave what is your top tip you can give me concerning the legal transfer of property in South Cave

You may not hear this from too many lawyers but conveyancing in South Cave and elsewhere in England and Wales is often a confrontational process. In other words, when it comes to conveyancing there exists plenty of room for conflict between you and others involved in the house moving process. For instance, the vendor, estate agent and even potentially a lender. Appointing a lawyer for your conveyancing in South Cave an important selection as your conveyancer is your adviser, and is the ONLY person in the transaction whose role it is to protect your best interests and to keep you safe.

We are purchasing a 3 bedroom semi in South Cave. The intention is to convert the garage to a playroom at the property.Will legal investigations on the property involve checks to determine if these works are allowed?

Your solicitor should review the registered title as conveyancing in South Cave will sometimes identify restrictions in the title deeds which prevent certain changes or necessitated the consent of another owner. Some additions need local authority planning consent and approval in compliance with building regulations.

You should check these things with a surveyor ahead of any purchase.

We had chosen conveyancers locally in South Cave on the Co-operative solicitor approved list. They are now charging me a further amount for the legal aspects of the Co-operative mortgage. Is this an additional conveyancing fee specified by Co-operative?

As unfair as it may appear, as long as it’s in their Terms and Conditions or estimate then yes your conveyancing practitioner may charge a fee for this. This fee is not set by Co-operative but by your South Cave property lawyer. Plenty of firms on the Co-operative panel will quote an ‘acting for lender’ fee but many firms incorporate it on their overall fee.

I am due to exchange contracts on my flat. I had a double glazing fitted in June 2007, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My buyer's mortgage company, RBS are being a right pain. The South Cave solicitor who is on the RBS conveyancing panel is recommending indemnity insurance as a solution but RBS are insisting on a building regulation certificate. Why do RBS have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?

It is probably the case that RBS have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why RBS may not want to accept indemnity insurance is because it does not give them any reassurance that the double glazing was correctly and safely installed. The indemnity insurance merely protects against enforcement action which is very unlikely anyway.

Last August I purchased a leasehold property in South Cave. Do I have any liability for service charges for periods before completion of my purchase?

Where the service charge has already been demanded from the previous owner and they have not paid you would not usually be personally liable for the arrears. Strange as it may seem, your landlord may still be able to take action to forfeit the lease. It is an essential part of leasehold conveyancing for your conveyancer to be sure to have an up to date clear service charge receipt before completion of your purchase. If you have a mortgage this is likely to be a requirement of your lender.

If you purchase part way through an accounting year you may be liable for charges not yet demanded even if they relate to a period prior to your purchase. In such circumstances your conveyancer would normally arrange for the seller to set aside some money to cover their part of the period (usually called a service charge retention).

I own a basement flat in South Cave, conveyancing was carried out 5 years ago. How much will my lease extension cost? Corresponding properties in South Cave with a long lease are worth £201,000. The ground rent is £45 invoiced every year. The lease terminates on 21st October 2089

With only 64 years remaining on your lease we estimate the price of your lease extension to range between £15,200 and £17,600 plus professional fees.

The suggested premium range that we have given is a general guide to costs for extending a lease, but we are not able to provide the actual costs in the absence of comprehensive due diligence. You should not use this information in tribunal or court proceedings. There may be additional issues that need to be considered and you obviously should be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Neither should you move forward based on this information before getting professional advice.
